Product worked well for me. Used it on wired ribbon for my outdoor Christmas wreaths instead of using the red pre-made ones. In addition to the waterproofing I also used a stiffening product. They held up well and still look nice. The photo that is attached was the before, I have since taken the wreaths down and removed the bows but they look just as pictured! (Apologize, I’m just now going through my emails)

Worked exactly as expected. I have light colored seating cushions on my dining chairs and sofa. This product keeps it safe from spills. Totally worth it.

I tried Never Wet last year on some outdoor furniture and was really impressed. I just cleaned my boat cover and protected it with NeverWet. We have had over 5 inches of rail this month and my boat is still dry.

Does not work
Purchased 3 bottles, which covered 4 cushion sets, front and back. Followed the directions, actually let them dry for a week before putting them outside. We had rain, and 4 days later the cushions are soaked. I have used Thompson outdoor fabric protector, which worked very well and kept the cushions dry all season. I will be using Thompsons from now on.

That doesn’t sound right. We want to know more about your application and get to the bottom of this. Please call us at 877-815-2536 to discuss further. In the meantime, please keep in mind for best results we recommend holding the spray bottle 12-16” from the surface and coat the entire object until wet. Do not allow the product so soak or puddle.

Perfect for Pink Suede Shoes
My new pink suede tennis shoes will stay clean and dry throughout my trips to the fitness center. They are color perfect after the Never-Wet spray application. I followed the rules and let them dry for the suggested 24 hours. I then went for a walk in the rain. I Now I am a five-star fan. I plan to spray my newest chocolate-colored walking shoes also. Shoes are too expensive to risk mud and rain.

Does As Promised
I was happy to see this product as my chair cushions I use outside are indoor ones. We try to take them in when rain is coming but sometimes we miss. The product did as it was supposed to do. The water beads up and then runs off as you can see in the photo. I also sprayed my chaise cushion as water is soaking through the fabric. The instructions are under the peel off label. The only thing is this was supposed to be a 6 Pack, but I only received 1.

Very good solution, especially for canvas shoes!!
This is very easy to spray on the item and it smells fruity. I used it on 3 pairs of canvas shoes, it works well and goes on evenly. Don’t shake the bottle and make sure you spray it in a well-ventilated because although it smells nice, it is a strong smell. Depending on how much you spray on, it could take a couple of hours to dry and make sure to wipe off excess spray on any non-fabric parts, such as in my case with the canvas shoes, I noticed little bubbles on the rubber trim of the shoes so I had to lightly dab with a lint free cloth. I missed some bubbles after a few minutes of spraying the shoes and they were starting to dry already, so inspect the entire item before leaving it out to dry. Don’t let the solution bubble or puddle on the item. Before exposing the item to water, wait at least 24 hours. I’m happy with the results, the shoes are now water-proof and they won’t stain like they did without this solution. Especially my white canvas shoes, I had to wash weekly because every single little dirty wet drop of water ended up showing too well, but now I won’t have that issue.

It works, but makes fabric stiff. Just be aware of that if softness is more important than water repellent.

      Water sits here!
      After carefully following the directions and drying for 48 hours, fabric was not waterproof at all.

      Let's see what we can figure out. Rust-Oleum Outdoor Fabric Water Repelling Treatment will repel water when it has been properly applied, it is not a waterproofing product.

          When I ordered the product I was under the impression that it would help keep my white tennis shoes clean, but it did not have that effect, nor did it work as advertised by making them waterproof.

              It changed the color of the beige fabric in places. I really did NOT like it. It was very expensive and the end result damaged the color of the fabric.
